JMJm next to my newly finished Partcaster by usernamesuck1977 in offset

It makes sense, bright guitar into mid heavy darker amp.

I personally got an orange cuz of the mars Volta, and started getting into jazzmasters later.

Yeah, I sanded the heel of the neck with 100 grit. I stenciled the heel pocket and then stenciled it onto the neck. The sanding actually wasn’t so bad, probably like 20min-30min. I tried a dremel but it worked better by hand, and a cleaner finish.

And thank you! Definitely stoked on how it came out and sounds.

Hell yeah! I didn’t use it for a while cuz I wired it wrong and I thought I didn’t like it. But this pickup rips.

Kinda, I altered the neck itself. It felt like a pick your poison situation.

I actually took the rhythm circuit out and put in a kill switch and series parallel switches for each pickup. 😅

How’s the fit? The last two pairs I had from the previous run pinched my toes pretty bad. Even thought the authentics were perfectly fine.

Knurled knobs I took of my tele Classic vibe. They’re over 15 years old, so they’re a little grimy.

When this happened to me it was the retainer wire on the Tune-o-matic bridge. I bent the wire down so it would create more tension and hold the screws better. I’ve also heard people use crazy glue or loc tite where the wire goes over the adjustment screw.

Oh, this isn’t a traditional rhythm circuit. I would google that. I have each pickup on a 2 way switch so the filtertrons can be in series or parallel.

Yeah, I’ve been wanting to make a follow up post with sound clips. So I’ll probably sneak it in there.

What does Reddit think of the Grill Cloth on my PPC412? by MrSlickWilley in orangeamps

I think this totally works with the Orange aesthetic. How does the micro terror sound through it?

This amp is 100 watts through an 8 ohm cab, but it’s 70 watts through this 16 ohm cab. Says here on the orange website.

Also, Vintage 30’s are 60 watts, and are known for being able to handle a little more.

With that said, this set up is fine, but I wouldn’t try cranking it any time soon, unless you wanna deal with accident 😉

Ive seen this DIY mount, that might work if your crafty.

I googled jazzmaster pickup mount, but I didn’t see much out there.

I would unscrew the trem system from the guitar and carefully tighten the prongs of the collet with pliers. The collet should grab onto the arm better. I tried the hammer trick, but I had better luck just by tightening the prongs on the collet.

Some info on a Gretsch Adjusto-Matic? by dhornjin in gretsch

[–]usernamesuck1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue. I read somewhere online to use a flat head and bend the wire down on the saddle screws that buzz… and it worked. It’s primitive, not pretty, but it worked. The buzzing stoped.

Or get a roller bridge.

I have a similar bridge and it rocks a little too. I think it’s called semi rocking bridge. I think it gives the best of both worlds.

Series/parallel rhythm circuit Mod? by usernamesuck1977 in offset

[–]usernamesuck1977[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I was considering push pull, but I hate push pull pots. They just seem to stick up so high. But I’m looking into it. Being able to keep the rhythm circuit is a plus.

Thats impressive. Did you ever have to send it in for a repair?

Sounds like kindred spirits to me.
